About

Bloop

Bloop is a swipe-based photo organizer that lets you sort your camera roll month-by-month — with no subscription, no ads, and a one-time purchase. ■ Month-by-month, finishable Instead of facing your entire camera roll, Bloop slices it into months. Each session has a clear finish line, so you can sort one month in a coffee break and feel done. ■ Three swipes, that's it - Swipe right → Keep - Swipe left → Mark for delete - Swipe up → Favorite (syncs with Photos) - ↶ button to undo the last action You can also tap the bottom buttons. Swipe and button exits use intentionally different speeds — buttons are slower so you can follow what happened, swipes are quick when you're flying through. ■ Bulk delete, never accidental Marked photos pile up in a delete queue. Review them in a 3-column grid before tapping "Delete All" — change your mind on any photo with a single tap. Nothing is touched in your library until you confirm. ■ Resume where you left off Pause anytime. Bloop remembers exactly which photo you stopped on, even if you quit the app or your library changes. The "Resume" card on the home screen is always one tap away. ■ Favorites, synced Swiping up flips the Photos app's heart icon — so what you favorite in Bloop shows up everywhere else. ■ Privacy Your photos never leave the device. No uploads. No analytics on your images. No third-party sharing. Bloop only views and deletes. ■ Bloop Pro (one-time purchase) The free version sorts up to 50 photos a day. Upgrade to Pro for: - Unlimited sorting - No ads, ever - No subscription — buy once, own it forever - Future updates included at no extra charge ▼ Made for - People with a chronically full iPhone - Anyone avoiding extra iCloud storage fees - Folks who can't do "all at once" but can do one month - Subscription-fatigued buyers ▼ Requirements - iPhone running iOS 17.0 or later - Photo library access required
